Scores of 5th Semester students at University of Kashmir (KU) alleged to have been awarded meager and unsatisfactory marks in the recently declared results.
The students on Monday thronged the varsity and blocked roads.
On Saturday, the KU authorities notified the evaluation status for the 5th semester students of 2016 batch.
“Of the evaluation status, no student is satisfied in our college. In various subjects, either the students have been asked to re-appear for the exams or have been awarded with very less marks,” said students of Women’s Degree College Baramulla.
Besides failing or awarding low marks, the students further said that the KU authorities in the evaluation status have shown many students absent in practical English writing. “However, all of them appeared for the exam.”
They said the students faced this issue in all subjects in Medical, Non-Medical and Arts streams.
One of the students said, “In our college, KU examination wing has awarded less than ten marks out of 90 in various subjects.”
“In order to raise our issues, we the students of Women’s Degree College Baramulla blocked the main road as a mark of protest,” they said.
Students of Abdul Ahmad Memorial Degree College Bemina said that most of the students in their college have got 30 to 37 marks out of 60.
Meanwhile, the 5th semester students of 2016 batch on Monday held a peaceful protest in the lawns of KU.
“There are always two types of evaluators, a lenient one and a strict one. We will randomly pick some 40-50 answer sheets of the students and will hand over them to two new examiners. Then we will see accordingly, if there was a need to re-check all the papers or not,” Mir said.
KU Controller of Examination, Farooq Ahmad Mir told Rising Kashmir that in the result status of 5th semester students, 62.29 to 100 percent students have qualified the exams in different subjects.
“The only issues that could have happen is that the students may have expected more marks,” he said.
Stating the pass percentage of some subjects, Mir said “In History subject, 73 percent students qualified the exams. In Political science subject there are three branches that include Indian Thought, Western Thought and Democratic Awareness (Skill Course).”
“In Indian Thought 85.70 percent students qualified the exams, 89.91 percent students qualify Western Thought paper and 98.2 percent qualified Democratic Awareness,” he said.
Mir said that in English subject 88.37 percent students qualified the exams. In this subject 20,451 students appeared for the exams in which 18,072 qualified it. “However, as far as the question of fewer marks in some subjects is concerned the examination wing is looking into the matter,” he said.
